* CaptainObviousReveal: While the reveal was [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny a little more surprising]] in its day, it's intrinsically hard to make an entire episode in which [[spoiler:we never see anyone's face]] for the first 90% without the audience suspecting something is up, in a series that uses twist endings as a basic building block. The [[spoiler:name of the episode]] also helps.
